£190m Case Against Imran Khan & Bushra Bibi-Verdict Postponed Third Time

-

In a high-stakes legal battle with political repercussions, the £190 million corruption case against Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi faces yet another delay, keeping the nation on edge.

The much-anticipated verdict has been postponed for the third time, now rescheduled for January 17.

Key Details of the Hearing

Accountability Court Judge Nasir Javed Rana cited training commitments as the reason for not delivering the January 6 verdict. Neither the accused nor their lawyers attended the hearing despite prior notices. The court emphasized that ample opportunities were provided to the defendants throughout the trial.

The Allegations at a Glance

The case alleges that Imran Khan and his wife benefited property tycoon Malik Riaz by facilitating the return of £190 million, seized by the UK’s National Crime Agency, to Riaz. In return, Riaz donated land to the Al-Qadir Trust University, linked to Khan.

Why This Case Matters

The funds, instead of being deposited into Pakistan’s treasury, were allegedly used to settle Riaz’s personal debt, raising concerns over misuse of power and financial mismanagement.

Political and Legal Implications

With over 100 hearings and testimonies from key witnesses, the case has significant implications for Imran Khan’s political future and his anti-corruption stance.
